The BMW Motorrad Italia Superbike Team will contest the 2015 eni FIM Superbike World Championship with confirmed rider Sylvain Barrier.

The whole team will be the same as in 2014, with the former STK1000 double title winner hoping to leave behind what was an extremely challenging season, due to the two serious injuries that heavily affected his performance.

“I’m really happy to continue with the BMW Motorrad Italia Superbike Team,” Barrier said. “The 2014 season was a really tough one given the crashes and the injuries that forced me to sit out many races, but the team has always been behind me and this helped me overcoming the most difficult times.

“Anytime we were able to get on track with the EVO we always performed very well and given the new rules, I’m sure we will be able to score some good results.”

The team has already performed a two-day test a fortnight ago at Jerez and will resume its preparations on 21-22 January at Portimao.
